The report consists of two volumes. Volume 1 - Baseline Study, it aims to establish the significance of the Former Clubhouse of Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and develop conservation policies. Volume 2 – Heritage Impact Assessment, it aims to evaluate the proposed works and identify any potential impact that would adversely affect the significant elements, and suggest mitigation measures to reduce the impact as necessary. iii iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Centre for Architectural Heritage Research (CAHR) has been commissioned by the Architectural Services Department (ASD) to conduct the Heritage Impact Assessment for the Site of the Former Clubhouse of Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club at No. 12 Oil Street in North Point. The site comprises one main block and two annexes built in 1908. It was a sports club to organise water sport in Hong Kong. In 1930s, the club moved to Kellett Island in Causeway Bay due to reclamation work carried out in front of the buildings. The building was then devolved to the Hong Kong Government and was used as staff quarter and store until 1998. In 2001, the building was used as Archaeological Resource Centre by Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD). After the building was receded from LCSD, it remains vacant till now. In 1995, the historic buildings at the site were collectively rated as Grade 2. The Government plans to conserve the existing historic buildings and convert them into compatible uses. According to Development Bureau Technical Circular (Works) No. 6/2009, it states that any capital works projects affecting declared monuments, proposed monuments, sites and buildings graded by the Antiquities Advisory Board (AMO), recorded sites of archaeological interest and Government historic sites identified by AMO except those specified are required to conduct an Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) since 1 January 2008, this report aims to conduct an HIA on the subject site. Objectives The objective of this Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) is to assess the impacts on the historic fabrics of the Former Clubhouse of Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club at Oil Street, arising from the implementation of conversion works so that adverse impacts can be avoided or minimized with appropriated mitigation measures. Before carry out the evaluation of the impacts, it is the first step to understand the significance of the historic place by carry out the baseline study. In the baseline study, information about the Former Clubhouse of Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and the surrounding context will be gathered for understanding its cultural significance. A statement of significance will be established and conservation policy will be developed with recommended conservation guidelines. In the impact assessment, a detailed assessment on the proposed development will be carried out against the established conservation policy. The report is divided into two volumes: i) Baseline study; and ii) Heritage Impact Assessment and aims at the following main tasks: v i. Baseline study Study the history, architecture and development of the site Establish the cultural significance of the site Develop conservation policy and long term conservation management plan ii. Heritage Impact Assessment Assess the development and building proposal and identify the potential impacts to the site Recommend mitigation measures Recommend management of the historic place Baseline study i. Statement of Significance Description of the historic place The former Clubhouse of Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club is located at the junction of Oil Street and Electric Road in North Point which was a district mixed with industrial and recreational facilities in the early twentieth century. The building was used by the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club as its headquarters between 1908 and 1938. Established in 1869, the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, originally known as Yacht Club by that time, was a sports club providing a gathering place for members and yachting facilities in Hong Kong. The Yacht Club was merged with the Hong Kong Corinthian Sailing Club in 1891. Two years later, the club was honoured with the title of “Royal”. It was the first club with such honour in Hong Kong. After the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club had been amalgamated with the Hong Kong Boat Club in 1905, a piece of land in North Point was resumed for them to build the headquarters. The headquarters was also served as a clubhouse for their club members who were mainly Europeans. The building was opened by then Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Frederick Lugard in 1908. It was consisted of two rowing sheds and a gymnasium on the ground floor; a long verandah and club facilities on the first floor. At the beginning, most of the members were prominent persons, including several members of the Legislative Council. vi The building was occupied by the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club for thirty years till 1938. The headquarters was then moved to Kellett Island in Causeway Bay due to the reclamation works carried out making the building away from the coast. The building was devolved to the Hong Kong Government and was used as staff quarters and store till 1998. In 2001, the building was used as an archaeological storage by the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) of LCSD. It has become vacant till now after the opening of a new archaeological storage in Ping Shan in 2006. Historic and Social Significance The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club was one of the sports clubs established by the Europeans in the early days of colonial Hong Kong. The clubhouse represents the influx of foreign recreational activities and social life in the early twentieth century. It is is the only surviving recreational building that still existed in the area, reminding us that North Point was once a place for recreational activities. Besides, it is the only extant building along the original shoreline before reclamation works were carried out in North Point in the 1930s. It is also the Club’s first permanent headquarters in Hong Kong, signifying the milestone of the Club’s history.. Architectural and Aesthetic Significance The main façades of the historic building compound form an iconic streetscape along Electric Road, with the rear façades facing the Victoria Harbour when it was built.. The entire compound comprises a main building and two annexes. The hierarchy in the building forms and spatial designs reflect the various original functions and activities inside, such as the Main Building with an elaborate entrance porch and entrance lobby; different flooring materials for different zones; and the two annexes with a much simpler layout and form. The former Clubhouse is a fine example of the Arts and Crafts style which is rarely found in Hong Kong. It demonstrates very well the essence of such style, namely the irregular planning and the break down of the building masses, multiple roof forms, the contrasting red brickworks and roughcast external walls, and the prominent chimneys and downpipes. Amongst the known buildings with such style in Hong Kong, it is probably the best example with its considerable scale, high

    Perception of High-density Living in Hong Kong by LAWRENCE H. TRAVERS, assistant professor, State University of New York, College of Arts and Science, Oswego, N. Y. ABSTRACT.-Analysis of the Hong Kong experience of adaptation to urban living can provide insights into some of the problems that can be expected to occur in the rapidly expanding cities of the Third World. Population densities in Hong Kong are among the highest in the world, exceeding 400,000 persons per square mile in parts of Kowloon. Research based upon residence in a worker's dormitory and interviews with workers reveals a variety of adaptive strategies employed by people to cope with the stress of the crowded urban environment. An understanding of the individual's ability to adjust to the stress of high-density living must consider the meaning of density as a concept in the culture in addition to social and cultural norms. DESPITEDECADES OF CONCERN informal conversations with many of the about the possible effects of high residents, and through structured inter- living densities upon human behavior, views with cooperative individuals. we know very little about mankind's ability to adapt to crowded conditions.

  • 1O1O Next GTM Around the Island Race 2009
    for immediate release 7 November 2017 Turkish Airlines Around the Island Race Sunday 12 November Over 230 entries have been received for the 2017 edition of the Turkish Airlines Around the Island Race which will take place this Sunday 12 November. This year, the Title Sponsor is Star Alliance member, Turkish Airlines. The partnership between Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (“Best Asian Yacht Club”) and Turkish Airlines (“The airline that flies to more countries than any other airline and the Skytrax award winner for four key categories in 2017”) will bring a lot of excitement to the Around the Island Race as the fleet flies around Hong Kong Island. Turkish Airlines is also sponsoring an Around the Island Race photography competition which will see one lucky person being chosen to win a return business class ticket from Hong Kong to any worldwide destination* operated by Turkish Airlines. Serhat Sari, General Manager of Turkish Airlines Hong Kong, said “we are very excited to be the Title Sponsor for Around the Island Race - the biggest public sailing event of the year in Hong Kong.” Mr. Sari continued, “This year is our 15th anniversary of operation in Hong Kong and we hope that through this sponsorship engagement with the sailing participants and a campaign with the public, will bring Turkish Airlines’ brand and service commitment even closer to this Asia’s World City. Anyone with the sight of the fleet from right at the waterfront in the harbor or from up on the Peak, or perhaps somewhere at the South Side stands a chance to snap that special photo and win.” This event is Hong Kong’s largest celebration of sail and will see Victoria Harbour filled to the brim with sailboats, before they set off on the 26nm circumnavigation of Hong Kong island.

    INSTITUTION OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS HONG KONG BRANCH TECHNICAL VISIT TO HONGKONG UNITED DOCKYARDS ON 15/2/2014 IMechE delegates before HUD’s “United” floating dock (Paul W.C. Chan) General Every day, vessels from around the world berth and unberth the container terminals in Kwai Chung, generating great wealth for Hong Kong. The vessels cannot manoeuvre in the container port basin without the assistance of the tug boats, and when they break-down they need to be repaired swiftly in order to return to voyage as soon as possible. To stay seaworthy, every five (5) years they must pass the mandatory Special Survey required by the classification society. The maritime activities of Hong Kong are supported by the Hongkong United Dockyards Limited (HUD Group), one of the principle shipyards in the territory, which 26 members of Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) visited in the morning of 15 February 2014 and learnt how it contributes to the maritime activities of Hong Kong.
